Objectified at Any Age


Recently, both Nicole Kidman & Celine Dion have posed topless for magazines. While there's nothing wrong with being sexy at any age, there is something wrong with how the media constantly objectify women's bodies (but only those bodies that fit the beauty ideal -- white, young, thin, etc.). Their ages matter because women in the media have an expiration date. Posing topless may be a way of extending the date, but it's only acceptable because both women still look young & sexy. It's not about celebrating beauty at any age, but rather, it's simply business as usual to minimize a woman's talents & instead put the focus on her body.
